This film is entertaining enough especially with the fight scenes, and Peter Cushing even getting in amongst the action. I have to say though that Dracula was rather a comical sight at the start, and especially when delivering his lines. While trying to be menacing he achieved the opposite effect, apart from perhaps the end when he managed a little bit of success. However, I got the impression that they cast someone who looked remotely like Christopher Lee, and perhaps that made the latter's absence even the more conspicuous. Thankfully we don't see too much of this character in his normal form. In places the film seemed a little slow, but the action soon followed, and on the whole it was enjoyable especially during the latter stages.
